Assignment #7

Cellular phones (Mobile phone) 
evolution of mobile phones cell  The evolution of the cellular phones

THE FIVE W's:

What: Cellular phones are for calling and receiving to the people out there. 


When: Specifically, handheld mobile phone. In 1973, mobile telephony was very limited to phones installed to cars and other vehicles. So, Motorola and Bell Labs raced to be first to produce a handheld phone. The race was ended on April 1973, when Martin Cooper, a Motorola researcher and executive made the first mobile telephone call from handheld subscriber equipment, placing a call to Dr. Joel S. Engel of Bell Labs!   

Where: Again, specifically, handheld mobile phone. It invented in Motorola's headquarter in Schaumburg, Illinois. From Motorola's headquarter's first ever call to Bell Labs in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey.  

Who: the first ever call was from Martin Cooper, a Motorola researcher and executive to Dr. Joel S. Engel of Bell Labs. 

How did this work: People receive the calls or call by over the radio link. Radio link is a link between 2 radio towers. An example, I call my friend, Kobe. The call will go to one of the towers then that tower will pass a call to other tower then itself will go straight to Kobe!

-This invention helps the communication. I can just call you by a device. If this invention didn't invent yet. We will communicate like in 1950s. We would mail by envelope mails. We will have to wait the respond in weeks! 

-The elements of this invention. 3 elements! Time, a mobile phone call can up to 30 minutes due to the battery space. Sound, of course! ringtones, music, ringing. Light, the artificial light comes from the screen to help you see better in the dark. Even on the keyboards.

Assignment #6


I edit this photo on Picmoney. 

Target to audience: People who loves to watch the T.V. shows or movies that the deadly virus is spreading. Also, it is 
appropriate because the Zombie-Demon starts at 10pm, so most of the kids would ALREADY sleeping.  It is fitting to the audience. If people don't like the show. They do have a choice to not watching this! 

Does it communicates its message clearly?: Yes, it communicates its message very clearly. It tells when the Zombie-Demon will starts, shows a half zombie-demon black man on the picture, explains what it is, and tells where will it on.
